Roger, how on earth did you get a job at Autozone...you actually know about cars! They usually dont hire people with knowledge!

Things here are kinda slow. I was in full gear working on the house this summer...Roof done, couple of rooms gutted, then BAM! First the A/C died, then the dryer, then the A/C in the wife's car, tires/brakes for my car...
So everything is on hold while the funds slowly rebuild. The wife is pissed the house may not get sided this year, but somewhat calmed down when I said either the house gets siding or our bedroom get finished.
Of course being without cash, I'm finding all kinds of parts I'd love to have, but cant afford There was a '67 390 Galaxie convertible only about an hour from me for $1000. Nice shape too dang it.
Oh well such is life. Hopefully this winter is not as bad as they say, but if it is at least I'll have a good reason to drive the truck!
